1t is impossible that boy could conceal
his identity so absolutely unless he was
trained to it. He had been taught in Can
ada, for he could use neither the sign Lam
guage nor his voice, after the manner of the
New England trained pupils. At that age,
too, special training was necessary to ac-
Quire two languages.
The last doubt as to his being n tool of
some conspiracy is removed by his own con-
fesSion that he could tell who We're his
masters We're he convicted of fraud This
had been his lesson, to keep silent until con-
victed, and perhaps he had further means
TO cover the principals so that they might
not suffer the punishment they deserved.
This certainly is a strange case of a mind
turned into an infamous channel-of inn
pulses strangled that the man might become
the instrument of fraud and deceit. A GER
tain portion of his intelligence had been cul-
tivated-his mind as a whole was wreck
Oftruth and honesty he knew nothing. He
had no idea that he was defrauding, as Mr..
Marble says. His conduct had no moral
quality-the mind had been murdered; and
this murder of mind is no better than the
crime against Caspar HauSer

II will be noted that while the new boat
is six feet longer than the Maytiower over
all, she is only one foot longer on the water
line; that she has three inches less beam;
that she has six inches more draught, and
that she carries twenty two tons more bal
last Strictly speaking she carries no out
side ballast, as none of it is below her keel,
but her keel consists of steel plates three
quarters of an inch thick, curved upward
into trough-like shape, and into that fifty
tons of melted lead were poured. Besides
that she will carry twenty tons of pig-lead
as movable ballast to regulate her trim.
Her centre-board is 20x22 feet, and as it
will have drop of about twenty feet, tie
yacht will draw about thirty feet with it
down.
Gen. Paine gave tho builders the order for
the sloop on April 5, and in just eighty-six
days she was completed Mr.. Burgess says
he is well satisfied with her, but his love for
the Mayhower is yet very strong, and will
probably remain 50 until the steam sloop
takes first place in a race with the wooden
yacht. In the Volunteer the cutter Thistle
will have a yacht very hard TO beat, and no
American yachtsman believes that the
